Ten minutes ago, Caroline brought Knight Marlowe to Zhang Feng's residence.
But along the way, Caroline was not in a good mood because she heard some rumors.
The reason why Red Leaf City has become like this is all because of Caroline! The previous city lord choked to death while eating. The previous city lord came to Red Leaf City for three months and managed Red Leaf City pretty well, but because he married Caroline a few days ago, he went to hunt bears in the Sunset Mountains to please Caroline, and then he died.
Many people put the blame on Caroline.
They say she is a disaster star and that she will bring bad luck to her husband!
Some even say she is a witch!
You have to know that in this world, if you are identified as a witch by the church, you will be hanged! Knight Marlowe naturally punished those people who gossiped about her, but it was useless. The rumor had spread, and Caroline's reputation fell to the lowest point.
However, the city lord Zhang Feng was not as angry and unkind as imagined. Instead, he had a bright smile on his face.

"Have you had breakfast? Do you want to join us?"
There is not much food left in Hongye City now, let alone meat. Even if they are the only few senior executives left in Hongye City, they don’t have much meat to eat.
"Greetings, Lord City Lord!"
Knight Marlowe did not follow in, but stood straight outside the house, acting as a doorman.
The staple food of most people in this world is bread. Due to the climate here, the output of refined rice is very low, which makes it very expensive. Only a small number of nobles can afford refined rice.
As a noble, she knew the value of refined rice. This small pot of refined rice porridge could definitely be exchanged for a hundred kilograms of rye! Not to mention, there was a rich meaty aroma in the pot, which was really appetizing.
In this world, people have always eaten two meals a day, lunch and dinner. They don’t have the habit of eating breakfast. Of course, most of them don’t have the conditions to do so. For many people, even if they only eat one meal a day, as long as they don’t starve to death, it’s good enough.
"Eat it. You're welcome."
Zhang Feng ignored her and tasted it himself. It tasted pretty good. Although it lacked preserved egg, it did not affect the taste much.
Caroline muttered secretly in her heart.
As long as they were willing to communicate, it would be fine. Even if the City Lord was dissatisfied with her and wanted to give her a hard time, she would have to accept it for the sake of Hongye City.
"Lord City Lord, this is——"
Zhang Feng pointed to the dining table and went to wash the bowls and plates again.
Zhang Feng naturally didn't know her little thoughts. He brought four steamed buns and four eggs, just enough for each person to put two steamed buns and two eggs on their plates.
But it would have been better if he didn't explain, because once he did, Caroline was shocked.
A burst of tempting fragrance disrupted her momentum that she had finally raised! "It came from the city lord's house!"
However, the main target today is not these civilians, but the city lord Zhang Feng. Caroline naturally cannot go in with a stern face.
Caroline put her hand down calmly, her face slightly embarrassed.
Caroline looked at the frighteningly white steamed bun on the plate and asked with some confusion.
“It’s so clean here, and there’s no odor at all!”
Although it is said to be casual, Caroline naturally cannot sit anywhere. The main seat belongs to Zhang Feng, so she sits below Zhang Feng.
Especially now, when people are taking the lead in being frugal, their daily food is unadulterated black bread, which is only slightly better than that of ordinary people.
Zhang Feng personally served Caroline a bowl of porridge, which made her feel flattered.
Caroline only reacted at this time and quickly bowed to Zhang Feng.
Caroline's eyes lit up even more, as she hadn't eaten meat for a long time.
breakfast?
She had originally prepared for a protracted battle. If Zhang Feng didn't open the door, she would not leave. However, she didn't expect that the door would open just after she knocked and before she put down her hand.
“It tastes like meat!”
In fact, the steamed buns and eggs were only enough for Zhang Feng. Perhaps because of the time travel, his appetite has become very large recently. But since others have come, he can't be stingy. At most, he can drink more porridge later. It's a big pot anyway.
“Is this refined rice porridge?”
Looking at the white rice porridge in the pot, Caroline licked her lips subconsciously.
However, Caroline felt relieved when she saw the new city lord, who was so handsome, again.
"Well, this is steamed bun, you can think of it as a different kind of bread."
As for eggs, Caroline was much calmer. After all, although eggs were considered a luxury, for the nobles, they could still eat them all the time by spending some money.
"What is the identity of this new city lord..."
Zhang Feng gave a brief explanation. Since they are all made of flour, it makes sense to call them bread...right?
All the way to Zhang Feng's residence, Caroline's face didn't look very good.
The current situation in Hongye City is somewhat special. There are only two knights left, plus some soldiers. They can barely guard Hongye City, but they cannot go hunting. Besides, hunting requires the approval of the city lord.
As soon as she entered the door, the rich fragrance hit her in the face. Caroline, who had no habit of eating breakfast, suddenly felt like her stomach was growling.
The staple food of the nobles and commoners of this era was almost all bread, except that commoners ate black bread, while the nobles ate white bread made by filtering flour countless times.
Since she didn't know the temper of the new city lord, Caroline naturally followed his orders and sat obediently in the chair like a model student.
Caroline took a deep breath, put aside some other thoughts, and went to knock on the door herself.
"Bread this white! Even the Queen's bread isn't this white!"
Soon, Zhang Feng took a clean plate, a small bowl and a spoon and placed them in front of Caroline.
Caroline had eaten it several times a long time ago, and the taste, which was completely different from bread, made her linger on it.
This made Caroline very uncomfortable. She had obviously worked very hard to contribute to Red Leaf City, but those ignorant civilians completely ignored it and instead blamed it all on Caroline.
What do you mean? Breakfast? Do you have to eat in the morning?
“It smells so good!”
"sit."
Caroline encouraged herself in her heart: Caroline, you can do it! But...
But it is called white bread only in contrast to black bread. In fact, it is still dark yellow. When such white "bread" is placed in front of Caroline, the visual impact can be imagined.
Boom boom boom.
"What's the matter?"
Zhang Feng knew that this was the rule here, and as the city lord, he accepted it calmly.
Smelling the fragrance wafting from the room, the sound of swallowing saliva was particularly clear.
Then a small pot was brought to the dining table.
Caroline didn't know what was wrong with her. She had come here to apologize and ask Zhang Feng for forgiveness, but why was she sitting at the dining table now? Looking at the rice porridge in front of her, Caroline swallowed her saliva. Should she eat it or not?
But the point of discussing whether to have breakfast early is not the point, but the fact that the city lord invited her to join him? "Gulong~"
Zhang Feng understood immediately. He didn't say anything more and led Caroline into the house.
Zhang Feng, bathed in the morning sunshine, seemed to be covered with a mysterious veil.
She knew that most people lived with livestock in the same room, and the smell was indescribable. Apart from the castle, this was the first time she had seen such a clean place.
Meat has always been the food of the nobles, and common people rarely have the opportunity to eat meat. Although there are some animals in the Black Stone Forest not far from Hongye City, this is the hunting ground of the city lord. Anyone who poaches without permission will be hanged.
Marlowe also smelled it, and he immediately locked onto the source of the fragrance.
Seeing that Zhang Feng had already started eating, Caroline seemed to have lost control of her body. She picked up the spoon with her slender white fingers, scooped a small mouthful of porridge and put it into her mouth.
Instantly, Caroline's eyes widened.
Wow! What a taste!
Is this polished rice?
How can this meat be so spicy and delicious!
